Two-night run at the Balboa Theatre concluded the company's 2021-22 season
Five years ago, San Diego Opera launched its Detour Series of smaller contemporary chamber and choral works at the Balboa Theatre, and the affordably priced events have drawn a new, appreciative and growing audience.
The polished and visually stunning production — featuring multitalented co-creator Rinde Eckert, the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and the Attacca Quartet — is San Diego Opera’s first collaboration with Beth Morrison Projects. BMP is the nation’s leading producer of contemporary and boundary-breaking operatic works featuring up-and-coming composers, librettists, directors, designers and performers.
The 85-minute show is about an elderly clock repairman who announces that he’s writing a book about an aging magician who hopes to pass on his secret book of stage illusions to a young boy before he dies. But on the night before he is to meet up with the boy, the magician suffers a heart attack and slips into a near-death state where he subconsciously revisits a 1920s-era childhood trip to Coney Island with his father.
